if u use 1000watts, they will give out onli the 450 watts u need, i tink they will eat more electricity...im using 750watts, bt i never used that much
If no budget, i will get the best one, but then, when better thigns come out will very sian
Maybe i will get the following:
Xeon Quadcore processor x2 OC them
A server grade mobo that supports 2 physical processors, and have 2 pci express slots that supports crossfire( i seen it somewhere, dunno wad make and model)
1 raptor HDD
1 500gb seagate barracuda
1.7K PSU
two 4870x2 on crossfire
Water cooling with 3 pump relays

hmm... capacitor aging is one thing.....
but that is more for thermaltake powersupplies
what brand are u getting?
maybe 460watts is enough, u can ask go to bell systems and ask.
Vist computers will recommend u high power supplies, they recommended me 1000watts, i regretted not buying 1000watts, now i wan to upgrade graphic card and more HDD abit scared
U can look @ thevideo here:

hmm, 650 should be able to get u through well
use the www.thermaltake.outervision.com to calculate ur power consumption, then buy some psu with a bit more power to play safer abit
mobo, since u not intending to crossfire, any mobo wth pci express 2.0 x16 will do
if running vista, 3-4gb ram
xp 2-3 should be more than enough
How much harddisk space? since u are not really trying to go to the extreme, a normal 7,200rpm will do, maybe 500 gb for u to store ur movies, if u are storing a lot, and have games that take up space, u may need more than 500gb
the seagate barracuda is onli 199 for 500gb
for ur 4870 or 4850, u need a lot of ventilation, or u wait till the company comes out with the card with professioanl cooling, the cards runnin up to 80+ degrees.
another way is to jack up the fan speed, abit noisy though
